Goliath off-road bumper

[MissahPapaJ]

Anyone have experience with this bumper?

Mostly just wondering if it’s actually stout enough for real abuse?
Been looking at slee or dissent front bumpers but I do like a full safari bar ( they suck eggs to work on the vehicle but they look cool ).
Any advice would be great.

Ours are on sale AND the full bull bar is removable (in sections) so it makes it easier to replace light bulbs, light housings or work on anything else in the grill area.

Just in case others don't know, the company is Dissent Offroad.

That's my truck in the photo. Didn't know he ripped it and is using it on his website lol
Bumper is meh. Probably stout enough for most people.
There are a few things i would like to change and plan on doing so. Bumper was really cheap when i bought it.
Go with Dissent, especially with their sale.

Is that the Goliath front bumper? I am very curious how you like it.

Yes it is. It’s fine. The recovery points in the front are kind of a joke bc a shackle doesn’t like a rectangular hole very much. I don’t know what those were designed for other than looks maybe?
Theres a Giant hole under the winch is kind of a weird design and I’m going to be closing it up and adding two round recovery points down near the frame in the future.
POD lights don’t fit super clean. Overall I’m fine with it for how cheap it was compared to some other options. They also had some frame reinforced plates...

Oops. Thanks.

I remember last year the Goliath bumpers got really popular all of the sudden.

If you like Dissent go with their stuff, especially if its on sale. Bump-It-Offroad is another company that has been in the 80 game for a very long time and has had a revival. I'm jaded because I have a classic BIO bumper and I have friends working there now. I do like the Dissent stuff though.

Same boat....
I have the Avid offroad with F&R and i cant afford to replace them with any new bumpers out there with current price tags.

Dissent didn't come out with their high clearance bumpers back then (6yrs ago) otherwise...... The Goliath looks sweet though.....also LRA carries bumpers made out of Australia too but I would rather support US-made products especially small businesses.

From everything I've seen, across all the different rear bars, honestly I'd probably consider the Cruiser Company rear bar over most other options. They put that through some intense testing, and its has all the features I would want. Just have to save up the money for it.

I don't really care where something is made personally though, only that it is a quality product that is thoughtfully designed. Cruiser Company doesn't exactly strike me as a massive fly by night setup though. Its a relatively small company by most standards and has only been around since 2020. Just doesn't happen to be from the USA.

At the end of the day if it makes you happy and checks all the boxes then.

For sure, I just wanna know if I can smooch a large rock that’s all I really care about.
